CaptainLegend
2,653 runs · 125 wickets · 64 catches
The all-time leading run scorer, a three-figure wicket taker, and the safest pair of hands in the field. One of the last links to the club's roots at Heinemann Publishing alongside Simon and Paul.

2,436 runs · 40 wickets · 23 catches
The club's most gifted batsman and the reason Heinemann call Brasenose home. Makes run-scoring look effortless.

12th Man
Stanton — 1,474 career runs (6th all-time). Unlucky to miss out in a side bursting with all-rounders.

The Current XI
Best available squad · selected by algorithmPicked on form, career weight, and balance — four front-line batsmen, a keeper who can bat, an all-rounder, and five bowling options. The side you'd want on a Wednesday evening with something on the line.
1. Chris Tarratt (c)
Captain
2,653 career runs · 125 wickets
Opens and sets the tone. The all-time leading run scorer picks himself — and brings 125 wickets of part-time bowling if you need it.

2. Tom Buswell
207 runs at 34.5 · SR 168 · 33 career wkts

3. Omer Tariq
2,436 career runs · 40 wickets
The most gifted bat in the club. At three he can build or attack depending on the situation — and 2,436 runs say he usually gets it right.

5. Samuel Conway
132 runs at 18.9 · SR 121
Second-highest run scorer in 2025 with a strike rate north of 120. Young, improving, and increasingly hard to leave out.

7. Phil Atkinson
4 wkts at 5.5 · Econ 2.8 in 2025
The best economy rate in the 2025 season by a distance. Four overs for 22 runs and 4 wickets — you can't argue with that.

8. Hikmat Jan
Career econ 4.9 · 30* v Yeoman
Tight with the ball across his career and capable of a match-winning knock. The sort of all-rounder every T20 side needs at eight.

9. Iain Wakefield
10 wickets in 2025 · 40 career wkts
The leading wicket-taker last season. Takes wickets even when he goes for runs — exactly what you want from your strike bowler in T20.

11. Taha Noor
4 wkts at 12.0 · Econ 5.3 in 2025
Quietly impressive figures — four wickets at 12 with an economy of 5.3. Gives the captain a different option at the death.

12th Man
Alan Barringer — Career economy of 5.0 and a handy bat (25 v Appleton). Unlucky to miss out with five front-line bowlers already in the side.
Selection based on 2025 season form, career statistics, and squad balance. Seven bowling options including the captain. Picked by algorithm — argue among yourselves.
